It should make for great unreality TV....Watching Trump try and sell/scare the American electorate into paying for a Wall he has no definition of, specifics for, or even real plan to build....Seriously, 8 minutes of buffoonery.

Over / under of 3.5. That seems like an awfully low number. This may be a sucker bet. May be safer to take a contrarian bet? Then again, if Trump goes off script & improvises, 3.5 could be a gift to take the over.

He'll be on the radio too! Thursday he will be at the border where the national security problems are. Yes problems, narcotics trafficking, MS-13 gang members coming in, Isis fighters who trained at those camps Alex Jones told you about across the border in El Paso etc. etc. There IS a problem.

A kindred spirit! I haven't had a TV for at least a decade & life is good. I get in-depth news from selected print & transcripts and stream entertainment/sports of my choosing. The best part is I never, ever have to have people shrieking over each other in my home.

I wish the networks had said no. He's not making a statement that warrants primetime prez usage. The networks - afraid that he'll say they discount him (like he doesn't say that anyway) - caved. They should've kept their regular entertainment programming & interrupted w/breaking news if there's actually any news.

An alternative would be for NBC to re-run an episode of The Apprentice.

How long is the speech?????? 3.5 seems really low if the speech is longer than 12 minutes. I don't think DJT has ever kept to a script (the long running lame joke being that he can't actually read) & spontaneously combusts at every opportunity.

I think checking out Stormy's laundry folding on instagram is a much better use of time.

When I first saw this I thought it said 35 over/under and I was thinking, maybe the under. But 3.5? The Washington Post is used for grading, but even Fox News could find 4.

Technically you'd be betting against Trump on the over 3.5 falsehoods. Betting on Trump (or believing him) would be taking the under assuming he will tell 3 or less falsehoods. Over 3.5 should be easy money, but you have to pony up 4.5:1 to do it.

I wouldn't and didn't watch his entire speech. I caught about 2 minutes - enough to see him reading. He seems very unnatural reading - something like a fifth grader...much different than his delivery at red meat campaign rallies.

Not sure how many lies he told and if he exceeded the over under. Will have to read up on the fact checkers. However I did find this article reflecting Shep Smith of FOX discussing the lies. Pretty bad when the prez's favorite and only go to TV network calls out his lies.

Your observation that Trump was uncomfortable reading underscores the lame running joke that Trump can't read. That's obviously not the case, but his impatience/inability to focus/comprehend even the shortest documents is one of the symptoms that led to the book "The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump" - a collection of observations made by psychiatrists edited by a Yale psychiatrist that DJT was mentally unfit for the office prior to his election.

Although psychs can't diagnose w/o seeing a pt, a number of psychs noted his lifelong narcissism, pathological lying, lack of impulse control, & poor concentration as symptoms of a man with emotional compulsions so unstable that when he won, approached Congress w/a warning that it should give serious consideration to invoking the 25th amendment. His refusal to read briefs has certainly unsettled the DOJ & pentagon.

Trump knows he's not good when constrained by a script. Reports are surfacing that he didn't want the TV scripted format but was "pushed" by his advisers. Who knows what's true, but the fact remains that the man communicates best when making grandiose false extemporaneous pronouncements. Even the 280 (formerly 140) Twitter character limit allows him to make head-scratching & contradictory statements in a single tweet.

How about we give Trump $5bilion for enhanced border security, in the form of more foot agents on the ground patrolling the porous areas? It would help catch illegals and create jobs. Would Trump supporters be ok with that? LOL, just kidding. I know these deranged idiot babies need a wall to feel safe, and couldn’t care less about creating jobs.

You have to love the childish interplay between the two Parties. "Give me this or I'll".....and "Drop your demand and we'll return to the table"....Right, like that is going to accomplish anything with a Problem that has been ongoing for decades. Yeah, The Democrats have a solution that will fix everything!...Right

"Trump can't read"......and Pelosi and Schumer were were wearing so much make-up they could have passed for extras in the Walking Dead.

Nice work, this is going to go on for quite a while....
